Storm warning






We arrived in Havre, MT about 10:30 a.m. with the intent of getting some food and going to the library. Two people approached us on our bike and told us to take cover...a storm with quarter size hail is approaching. So we're hanging out in the library.
Last night we stayed in Hingham. The highlight yesterday was a stop in Rudyard. We went to the dinosaur/depot museum. It was very interesting.
We eat a lot of small meals through-out the day...oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. I highly recommend the Starbucks micro instant packets! We have a Cliff Bar down the road. We stop at a grocery store and get deli chicken, maybe ice cream. Dinner we cook rice or pasta and add a packet of tuna. We also eat peanut butter on sandwich thins. We eat chocolate chips and peanuts and raisins. We drink as much as we can. It's amazing how hungry we are. We crave salt.

  1. Hope that the heavy weather passes quickly.

    We ate so much salt when we were touring. The hotter it got the more salt we ate.

  4. Happy Fourth, you two! Thanks for sharing your diet with us. I am always interested in how much food I need to eat when I do long-distance cycling. When it gets hot, I can't drink enough. It's non-stop!

    It's been humid in the upper 80s and lower 90s this past weekend. I sit at my computer and sip coffee from one of my ABR trails coffee cups:)

    Be well, you two. We think (and talk) of you often.

  5. Hi Guys. Finally figured out how to follow you. If you weren't traveling so fast we could have kept up for sure.

    Nice work over those hills in Idaho, MT. Now for the real challenge. Wind on the plains. Big spaces between stuff. Any poetry going on?

    Can't wait to Mtn Bike at Telemark with you when you get home.

    Take care,
    Robb and Jan
